WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

Movement with BonBon - Monday, March 7 (8-10PM)

This 2 hours session will focus on freeing the mind to get into the body and move without prejudice, finding one’s inner rhythm, trusting one’s instincts and discovering all the possible ways to shimmy and shake. The participants will also be guided through contact dance with one another under the guidance of BonBon Bombay.

Burlesque is a spectator sport. No matter what your burlesque-style, engaging your audience and "breaking the 4th wall" is an integral part of a captivating striptease. This 1hr workshop explores concrete techniques for how to reach out to those vague figures sitting behind your blinding stage lights. We will discuss what makes this so important and use practical exercises to rehearse the approaches we uncover. This workshop is for professionals looking to refresh their skills, new performers and would-be performers. Taught by The Lady Josephine.

Objective: to learn and practice proven techniques for engaging with your audience.

No experience necessary. Please bring a notebook and writing tool to class.

Let your cheeky side take over in this Chair Dance workshop, where you will learn a sultry choreography, inspired by the art of Burlesque and with a Pin Up spirit. The flamming dance moves along with a few simple chair acrobatics will certainly spice you up as you embrace the empowering temptress within. You will also be taught the tricks and trades of becoming a more confident and natural dancer with an exotic touch so you can later create your own quivering choreographies and release the showgirl in you. Just be warned that, following this workshop, you may want to express yourself sensually when you see a chair, therefore becoming irresistable !

High heals are more than welcomed in class. No dance experience necessary.
